Innovative Offering Provides Remote and Local Full Disk Encryption Access to Government and Enterprise Organizations

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Aug 9, 2016) - Route1 Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ROI) (the Company or Route1), a world-leader in secure data protection technologies and user authentication for government and enterprise, today announced the launch of MobiENCRYPT, a hardware solution delivering remote and local full disk encryption (FDE) access that exceeds the most stringent government and military privacy and security standards. MobiENCRYPT enables a secure mobile workforce by leveraging identity card-based credentials to protect government organizations from data-at-rest loss and security breaches.

Part of Route1's suite of patented security solutions, MobiENCRYPT integrates with government-issued CAC and PIV identity card technology, offering true multi-factor authentication. The technology provides fast and seamless pre-boot authentication that allows government employees to access their workspaces quickly, without compromising on security. More affordable and secure than other hardware or software-only solutions, MobiENCRYPT enables a mobile and flexible workforce while protecting government-furnished equipment (GFE) from loss or theft. Once encrypted, GFE remains encrypted after local and remote logins by authorized personnel, while other solutions offer local access only.

Yamian Quintero, CTO of Route1 Inc., commented on today's news, "MobiENCRYPT is the gold standard in remote and local full disk encryption. We developed the technology based directly on the feedback from our U.S. federal government customers, who collectively expressed a real need for portable full disk encryption solution that enables users to access their secure workspaces without placing sensitive data at risk. Our innovative technology solution is simple to deploy and scales to fit any organization's needs. It protects from the financial and operational risks associated with data loss, unauthorized system access and privacy non-compliance."

Route1 protects government and enterprise from the risk of data loss due to unauthorized system access and privacy non-compliance, while enabling a more productive workforce. The Company delivers a suite of patented security solutions that safeguard organizations through best-in-class authentication, data security and secure communications combined with streamlined administration tools running on a proven infrastructure. Route1 security solutions are trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of the Navy and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, among other government and enterprise organizations.

Quintero concluded, "Route1 technologies enable productive and flexible workforces without compromising the integrity of sensitive data or organizational networks. From mobile access to business continuity to best-in-class full system encryption, our patented suite of technology solutions offer the most effective, affordable methods to secure the digital fortress. We look forward to deploying MobiENCRYPT for government and enterprise organizations, and over the coming months will unveil additional, high grade technologies to meet the increasing need for secure access."
